Julie, thank you for the Ondine info – you’re mention in the Sunday post! I had no idea – AND it turns out that his baby mama plays Ondine, a mermaid. He’s the fisherman who finds her tangled up in his nets. O names are great. I like Orion, too, but Arthur says no.

According to the CBB announcement regarding Colin Farrell new son,
Colin stars in an upcoming film titled “Ondine”.

Like Bek I’ve been infatuated with Ondine since Top Design, but then I’ve always liked O names: Ottalie, Obadiah, Oberon, Octavia(n), Odelia, Odin, Olaf, Olena, Oona, Osanne, Oscar…

“Ondine sur la table”, as my other half put it. That pretty much crossed it off our list, to my chagrin.

Phaedra & Undine would make a beautiful sister set. I know my first daughter will be an Ondine if I have a girl someday. My SO loves it too, which is a plus.

Yeah, I was thinking as sisters ^^ I wasn’t too clear about that…
I’m not sure what I’d name her brother though, Justus maybe?

I love Undine anyway, she’s a lovely girl!

But it’s a nice, well-intentioned guttersnipe, Bewildertrix. Much as I love Undine, I do think she’d hear undies throughout her childhood years. Which will either build character (I’m looking at you, Joel Madden) or will prompt her to be known as U. Elizabeth by the time she hits college.

Too bad, because I love Undine’s sophisticated sound. Ondine seems like a lot on a kid, too, but with some parents opting for Opal and Olive, I can see her fitting in – at least in my ‘hood.

There were 44 born in 2006, at least according to meilleursprenoms.com – I should’ve linked above! That puts her in the French Top 1000, but still seems rare.

But this is also where I ought to defer to anyone who speaks French or has lived in France – I’d compare Ondine to Olive or Opal. Fashionable, but not common and not likely to rise into the Top Ten. Is that right, or am I off?

Ah, I wish I’d paid more attention in FR101 …
